Bitbucket Server - Deleting Repository did not Decrease Disk Usage?

Patrick Chen

Hello,

We are trying to reclaim disk space on our Bitbucket Server instance.

We found some repositories that were no longer needed and deleted them, however the disk space usage has not gone down at all.

Is this a bug or expected behavior? What can we do to manage disk space usage?

Any guidance is appreciated, Thank you.

Hi Patrick,

If a repository is forked to another repository and that fork still exists, the original repository will remain on disk even if it is deleted. Is that the case here?
